Notes

1] Drummond reported Jonson as remarking: "he esteemeth John Done the first poet in the World in some things." Jonson wrote another epigram of twelve lines to Donne in which he praises him (lines 3-6) as a judge of poetry:

That so alone canst judge, so alone dost make; And, in thy censures, evenly dost take As free simplicity, to disavow,As thou hast best authority to allow.
